LEXINGTON – South Oldham is playing deeper into the postseason than ever before thanks to a group of veterans who’ve been playing together for years and a newcomer who didn’t join the team until this season.

Junior foreign exchange student Jonas Prenn scored the Dragons’ first two goals Saturday and his teammates helped shut down Rowan County in a 4-0 South win in the KHSAA quarterfinals at Henry Clay’s Bell Stadium.

North’s goose-egg victory came on the heels of shutouts on Oct. 10 against Waggener (53-0), Oct. 17 against Atherton (49-0) and last week against Collins (43-0). The Mustangs haven’t allowed a point since a 21-13 loss at Spencer County on Sept. 26.

North’s defensive performance on Friday included a Chris Burton interception for the second straight week.
